Earlier this year, almost the entire block of historic buildings in downtown Mt. Prospect where Sakura held sway for over a quarter century,......burned down. Only months after a total interior remodel..... Hopefully they will re-open somewhere in the area. They will be missed....

Sushi lovers should be flocking to this place. The menu offers the usual Japanese fare but includes numerous items not seen in most other sushi restaurants. We indulged in some weekend specials such as smoked tuna, king salmon and young yellowtail, all of which were...More

I visited Sakura in October of this year with my family and I am happy to report quality and service remains high. This is an excellent restaurant in the Chicago area with a good selection and attentive staff. As always, I recommend reserving tatami room.
